Correctional Officer Stress Research Project

The Minnesota Department of Corrections participated in a correctional officer stress research project with the University of Nebraska-Omaha from 2018-2022. The following studies stem from that research.

• Correctional Officers With More Service Time Are More Likely to Experience Persistent Mental Health Problems
• The Accumulated Impact of Critical Incident Exposure on Correctional Officers' Mental Health
• The Accumulated Impact of Direct and Indirect Workplace Violence Exposure on Mental Health and Physiological Activity Among Correctional Officers
